A talented baker spent more than 330 hours to painstakingly create an amazing life-size replica of Peaky Blinders Tommy Shelby entirely out of cake. Mum-of-two Jane Lashbrook, 53, sculpted the incredible 5ft 8ins tall Cillian Murphy character from the gritty BBC drama entirely out of sponge cake.
She scoured the internet to get the exact measurements of the Irish actor and even made sure his shoes were the right size. It then took the cake maker 336 hours to craft it into the image of the Brummie gangster with little touches like his signature cigarette, waistcoat and a pocket watch.
Alongside Tommy sits a bust of his brother Arthur and New York mobster Luca Changretta, which were created by bakers Stephanie Would and Corinna Maguire. The trio's amazing creations have gone on display today (Friday) at the Cake International show at Birmingham's NEC.
